“An anarchist is someone who doesn't need a cop to make him behave.”

[The Book of Ammon, 1965, Hennacy, 31]

“The only revolution worthwhile was the one-man revolution within the heart. Each one could make this by himself and not need to wait on a majority.”

The Book of Ammon

“The dictionary definition of a Christian is one who follows Christ; kind, kindly, Christ-like. Anarchism is voluntary cooperation for good, with the right of secession. A Christian anarchist is therefore one who turns the other cheek, overturns the tables of the moneychangers, and does not need a cop to tell him how to behave. A Christian anarchist does not depend upon bullets or ballots to achieve his ideal; he achieves that ideal daily by the One-Man Revolution with which he faces a decadent, confused, and dying world.”
